Exhaust Setups??

Looking to see if any one has a dual side pipe setup the types that run along the bottoms of the doors and come out before the rear tires sort of like the tire warmer setup you would see on the old hot rods. I just think it would look pretty sweet on a FC. Add in a custom vented heat sheild and yum... Just hadn't seen it on an FC figured there was probably a reason for it.

FC's sit a little low for that IMO. I've got mine ran down the stock location, then kicked out right before my passenger rear tire....and I have to be carefull going over bumps 'cause it scrapes. I couldn't imagine running it down the sides there.

Also, it'd be pretty ineffeicient, i'd think, to route one all the way over to the driver's door.

Just my opinion though.....anything can be done I suppose.

The old shelby cobras had V8's.....and their headers were already coming out on both sides.....whereas our cars only have exhuast coming out on 1 side.

It would be too loud for most people. Not enough space to run adaquate mufflers.

I'm talking about ear-bleeding loud here...
